Scarlett’s POV“I, owe, you?” I raise my eyebrows, poking his chest with a frown.Sebastian chuckles at my “attack”, holding my waist tighter: “I owe you a million apologies and more. I owe you a good husband, a comfortable home, and five years of happiness, but yes, this one thing, you do owe me.”“I gave you a chance and a million after that,” I humph at him, trying to push him away with my arms as wedges between us. Effort in vain.“You don’t love me anymore, do you?” Sebastian asks and I lower my eyes. He taps my chin up with a hooked finger, but to my surprise, there is a smile instead of sadness in his eyes, “I know you don’t, and I deserve that. But you forced me to marry you when I wasn’t in love with you, and you owe me a chance to pursue you now, when our position is exactly the opposite.”“I just want what you asked of me five years ago, Scar,” Sebastian gazes at me with his soulful eyes, “Every bit of my debt I will pay, but I want to collect just this one debt from you...
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 163 The Other Fuller's Daughter
Damian’s POV“Surprised to see you without your little pet,”I’m about to be bored to death at Oliver’s party. Well, sort of a “party”. It’s just a club where a lot of actors hang out, and he just invited a few more, and tagged it a “truth and dare” themed night. I enjoy a drink with him occasionally, but a quiet drink, not this type.“I wouldn’t be if I’m not stuck here, so, thanks for that,” I roll my eyes at him, resting my arms and neck on the back of the sofa as I try to ease the sourness in them. Oliver calls Lilith my little tail because I have been working extra hours recently -- something I don’t normally do -- just to spend time with Lilith.I never liked the mentor-apprentice rule in law firms, but when she came to join, I couldn’t help but chase off all the other partners who had eyes on her.I never thought I would want one myself.But how could I not? She’s perfect. Lilith is a great work companion, a kind person and a cute girl. She works herself to the most, but she wou

Damian’s POV“The mean girl? Who’s married? Whose blood type is registered as AB?” I blink at Oliver, can’t quite process what he said, “How much did you drink tonight?”He rolls his eyes at me. He rolls his eyes at ME when he is the one being ridiculous?!“Uncle Johnny always says that I saved your life, when in fact I hesitated about helping you,” Oliver suddenly blurts, coming to sit by my side, “I felt bad taking your help because...I don’t know if I would have saved you, if it wasn’t my team member that hurt you in the first place.”“What do you mean?”“I mean,” Oliver raises his glass, giving me a mysterious smile, “the world is a dark place.”What does that mean?!“You know I lost my parents to a car accident, right?” Oliver leans in, his voice low and his look heavy, which is very rare, if you know him. “A car crashed into him, but it wasn’t an accident. It was murder.”“What?! Why the hell didn’t you say anything?! We can look into it--”“The driver is still in prison,” Oliver
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 165 The Old Flame
Damian’s POV“So the surprise you invited tonight was Scarlett Fuller?”Oliver gives me his icon smirk: “You said you wanted to get to know her while looking into whether she’s the real Alice, no? So, I invited both of them.”And neither of them showed up.Waited late into the night, Oliver finally began to get nervous. Taking the time to rest, I close my eyes so I don’t have to see his guilty look.“That’s weird...” Oliver mumbles to himself, but makes it loud enough for me to hear, “I was so sure that at least Scarlett Fuller would come...”I can’t help my laugh escaping me, and Oliver hits me on the shoulder with red ears.“What?!” I laugh at him, “You have met them like what, twice?? What makes you so sure that--”“I saw her eyes!” Oliver cuts me off with solemn look, “I recognize a clean look in them, it’s like...like someone who maintains her innocence after seeing real darkness...I don’t know how to describe it, but I just feel her, okay?!”Seeing my taunting nod his solemnness
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 166 Work Acquaintances
Damian’s POVI frown at the sight, confused, too.I got her 10,000$ in that fight last time. I didn’t dare give her more because she might get suspicious. So when she didn’t return to the black fight club, I took that as the money being enough to cover whatever problem she was having. So why is she doing another part-time? At such a place no less?!“You don’t work your people too hard, do you?” Oliver says with a sarcastic tone, “I knew there was a dark side in that girl! Not to brag but... I told you soooo.”I click my tongue at him, and he raises both his hands but rolls his eyes at the same time.Oliver doesn’t like Lilith for some reason. He keeps calling her my pet because he sees her as a gold digger. Well, he sees all women around me as gold diggers, and most of the time, I agree with him. But he is wrong about Lilith. She has something special in her. I don’t know why he can’t see that.“Since your surprises are not coming anyway--” I stand up, sorting my suit. Maybe I should

Scarlett's POVI asked Sebastian to come to the party with me. Well, I told Sebastian about it, and he tagged along against my suggestion.“Since when have you been interested in disco bars?” Sebastian tries to hide his impatience. Effort in vain. He prefers quiet ones.“No one even invited you,” I roll my eyes, looking around for Oliver.“I want to be with YOU,” He grunts, following me tightly as he tries to avoid making contact with anyone, an annoyed look on his face, “It could have been at home--”“I couldn’t have been because I wasn’t planning on going home with you,” I wheel on him, somehow, in the crowd, “I said you have a chance, under the condition that you won’t put Ava Fuller above me. I’m not just going back to be your tamed little wife, not again!”“I know, I know!” He raises both his hands, smiling tamely, “I’m sorry. You can at least come home to sleep, no? I won’t be there.”“So what, now I’m chasing you out of your own house?” I shake my head, but before we can get to
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 168 Interested In Killing
Scarlett’s POVMy only way out is blocked by Oliver Scott.What do I do? Why does he seem to have a problem with me? I barely even know him. For Ava? If so, then does that mean he would look out for his real sister? But he wanted her dead! Besides, I can’t even prove I AM his sister even if I want to!“Hey, it’s okay,” Oliver Scott suddenly says, “He is here for a girl who played him, and that’s why he came to my table. If you don’t like it, I’ll ask him to leave.”“Tsk,” Damian Vanderbilt clicks his tongue, shooting a glare at his friend, “Seriously?”I blink the tears that are almost pouring out back in. Really? He would be on my side?“I want to leave,” I say quietly to Oliver Scott, staring into his eyes, my heart pumping fast in my chest. Oliver looks at me for several long seconds without too much of an expression, but then he stands up and makes way.“I didn’t know bullies scares so easily,” Damian Vanderbilt taunts. I turn around in worry, but he is not coming after me, “I mea
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 169 Summoned
Damian’s POV“What if I don’t?” I tease Scarlett Fuller.Why is she so afraid of me? I don’t think I have ever offended her in any way. But she looks at me as if worried that I would eat her alive.“Then I will ask you what makes you think you have the right to say so, when she can go and do whatever she wants to do,” Sebastian Knight shoots me a hostile look.He doesn’t seem to be what Ava Fuller told me about -- a guy Scarlett forced to marry with dirty tricks. If last time he didn’t help Ava because he cares about his image in public, he has no reason to stand up for her against me for such a slight tease.“You seem to be afraid of me,” I ignore the protective husband, asking the little bunny, “Why?”She freezes where she is like a scared bunny. Now I’m really confused. Wasn’t that question completely harmless? But it was like I said I would kill her.Lilith is here, and I don’t want her to spot Lilith. That’s all.[I’m out at a bar. Wanna come?] I text Lilith. If she lies to me, t
